\nToday, you incite for rally,
\nWhat will you do,
\nWhen we all will have
\nEmpty belly? <\/p>\n

Today, you say
\nClose the shops & schools,
\nWhat will we do, when all of us,
\nTurn into vagabonds & fools? <\/p>\n

Today, boys are playing cricket
\nOn empty roads,
\nWhat will they do, when these spaces
\nWill be choked with vehicles of all modes? <\/p>\n

Today, well off in the clubs, are playing rummy,
\nAnd devouring food, which is yummy
\nBut, how long will this bliss last,
\nWhen they keep on playing dummy? <\/p>\n

Today, the police & the army
\nAre chasing the rallyists
\nIn lanes & on roads
\nWhat will they do
\nWhen they spread their tentacles
\nAnd descend upon their abodes? <\/p>\n

Beware, it is not
\nYet, too late
\nLet the police protect
\nArmy defend
\nStudents study
\nBabu work
\nAnd trader trade <\/p>\n

Let every one pray & work
\nIn the places
\nOf their choice
\nAnd all of us must endorse it
\nIn one loud voice. <\/p>\n

Still, if some have grouses
\nThen, there are laws
\nAnd courts & houses,
\nWho need to expeditiously & fairly
\nAdjudicate & administer
\nTo nullify & quell
\nThe designs- sinister. <\/p>\n

Our dear country is already so poor,
\nAnd,it can not afford,
\nThe luxury of
\nAcrimony, disunity & strife. <\/p>\n

We all will have
\nTo come together,
\nIf we want
\nA better life. <\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
